Nested association tracking after version 0.9.0 #225

Closed thenick775 closed 1 year ago

thenick775 commented 1 year ago

Hello, this is more of a question regarding versioning and nested associations.

Before version 0.10.X we were able to track nested association changes out of the box, referencing has_many/belongs_to etc. associations on changesets.

The last successful version this worked for was 0.9.0

Was this an intentional change? I scanned the changelog and was not able to find any information on if removing trails on Ecto associations was done intentionally, or if this is a bug.

I know there was a lot of discussion on nested associations generating/being included in a paper trail, where this does work for embeds.

Any assistance here is appreciated!

There is currently no support for nested associations and we suggest doing those updates explicitly in a DB transaction with Ecto.Multi. Supporting such feature would increase the complexity of the existing tests tremendously.

I'm closing this issue, let me know if you'd like it to be reopened.
